NAME ORIGIN

From French vert "Green" and mont "Mountain," originally
applied to the Green Mountains east of Lake Champlain by French explorer Samuel de Champlain
on his map of 1612. Dr. Thomas Young, a farmer of the Pennsylvania constitution and active
in championing the cause of Vermont statehood, combined the words into Vermont in 1777. The
region had previously been referred to as New Connecticut.
